Hi,

Try..

#apt-get remove mysql*

The wildcard character "*" works great for me on Fedora
with "yum remove mysql*".

Should work for apt-get

I think you'll need a -purge in there too.

I'm working from memory, RT:)M apt-get to make sure I'm right. ;)

or..
start synaptic, search for mysql, and do a complete removal.

ok cool will do ,thanks everyone
merry Christmas
